The funny moments in life.

Jessica Carter is a stand up comedienne from Nashville, TN. She began her comedy career in 2009, and since that time has performed all over the country. With a background of over 15 years in acting, radio, and theatre management, she is happy to add stand up comedy to her performance life. She's consistently working on her comedy, and creating new material for her fans.

Jessica’s comedy - a mixture of absurdity, weird observations, and outright silliness - is full of her passion for all performance styles. She loves to create a variety of voices for her stand up, and is never afraid to point out the inappropriately funny moments of her life.

Since starting her comedy career, Jessica has advanced to finals in several large comedy contests in the Southeast - including the Scenic City Comedy Contest, The Rocky Top Comedy Contest, as well as The Funniest Mouth of the South contest . She has been featured on the comedy broadcast website www.RoofTopComedy.com. She performs on a regular basis at Zanies and the Girl On Girl Comedy show in Nashville.
